Christmas eve in Richmond

As always, we start our Christmas celebration a little early so that Santa can come to our house and the kids can wake up and open presents in their own house. Our Christmas Eve traditions involve baking cookies, going to Maggianos for dinner, and then we visit a few of the houses on the tacky light tour (outside of our neighborhood), come home and prepare Santa's cookie plate, read some Christmas books, and go to sleep to wait for Santa!
